raudus

1. Clipping of rauduskoivu.

• rōdus
• rūdus

Uncertain. Traditionally derived from either of the Proto-Indo-European roots *(h₃)rew-d- (“to tear up, dig up”) or *gʰrew-d- (“gravel, stone”), along with rūdus (“debris, rubble”) and rudis (“rough, raw”); modern scholars however tend to deem this phonetically impossible. Rather, to be considered a substrate word and compared with Proto-West Germanic *arut (“ore”), along with perhaps Sumerian 𒍏 (urud, “copper”).^[1]
